So I'm the guy who has adjustable carb saws who's been totally intimidated and scared to tune them (afraid I'd mess them up i guess). I've been taking them to a guy at a small engine shop that I like but now I'm at the point where I'm sick and tired of paying someone else to do something I need to be able to do myself. I've read a lot, watched good videos and talked to a few people to the point where I'm ready to take a shot at it. My question is what specific tool (small screwdriver, spline, pac man, DD etc) does it take to adjust the carburetor on each of these saws? I really appreciate your help. Steve.

Don’t be scared, you’ll be fine. I think these two videos will help:










I have no idea about screw drivers, most I come across are flat heads. Though you can get a set of speciality screw drivers from Amazon easily to cover all your bases
